It was the collaborative efforts of Deb-bie Kooy, Ron Gear and Jerry Voorhies that made the fourth annual Bluegrass Jamboree possible. It would seem that the park in George, Washington is an unlikely place for a bluegrass festival, but when asked, Kooy replied, “Why not George? It is the perfect end of the summer event. The weather is good and the crowd likes it.”

Ron Gear, of Moses Lake, and front

man for his band, the Gear Jammers, first approached Kooy almost five years ago. “He came to me and said, ‘Debby, you have the perfect place to have a festival here. You have the hall, and a nice park, so let’s do it,’” said Kooy. Since that day, people trickle in from all over to follow their favorite bands.

Deanna Lavoie, who is the new George Community Hall board member, shared the sentiment “We have a beautiful park and a beautiful new hall. It needs to be utilized, and events like these help the community to grow,” said Lavoie.

Terri Jones, of Everett, arrived the first day and made everyone feel at home. “Some of the people here travel around following all of the different festivals, and some are in bands,” said Jones. “We are not official camp hosts. If you have food and some light, they will come,” said Jones. On Thursday night, a group of 12 played around a campfire outside of her trailer, including a local well-known dobro master, Richard Starr of Ephrata. “You know about the history of the dobro, don’t you?” asked Starr. “The “do” part of the name comes from the Dopier family,

The Quincy Valley Medical Center administration is proposing to have a private company take over its ambu-lance service.

QVMC is talking to American Medical Response about having it take over the hospital’s ambulance service, said QVMC administrator Mehdi Merred to the Quincy City Council during its meeting on Tues-day, Sept. 21.

Merred said the hospital’s ambu-lance service has lost money on an annual basis. The service lost about $25,000 last year and is losing $18,000 this year. Those numbers would be much worse without the $108,000 the hospital receives from Grant County Fire District No. 3 and the $100,000 it receives from the City of Quincy for ambulance service.

During his presentation to the council, Merred stated that the hospital would continue providing ambulance service until a viable local option is

ready to take over. AMR is such an option, he said.

“I think we have a unique op-portunity to divest the service from the hospital and have a nationwide, professional company take over,” Merred said.

He explained that many hospitals in the region are struggling to pay for ambulance services and many are turning the service over to private companies.

QVMC began talks with AMR shortly after the company took over ambulance service in June for Grant County Fire District No. 5 in the Moses

Lake area.AMR is interested in taking over

the service in the Quincy area, but it would need to collect the current ambulance subsidies paid by the city and Fire District No. 3.

Rocco Roncarati, AMR general manager for Eastern Washington, said the subsidies are needed because the Quincy ambulance service area does not have enough call volume.

“Our determination is that it cannot be done without the current subsidy,” Roncarati said.

Councilmember Jose Saldaña pointed out the money the ambulance

service lost and then mentioned that Merred received a pay raise last year that would have covered the loss.

“If money was that tight, then why did they give you that kind of a raise?” he asked.

Merred answered, “If you look at salary comparisons to facilities similar to my size, I was underpaid.”

Councilmember Scott Lybbert asked what would happen to the cur-rent ambulance employees.

Roncarati said that every ambu-lance employee for Grant County Fire

After three months of talks, a mediator has been requested to help the Quincy Valley School District and Quincy Education Association negotiate a new contract.

The old contract between the district and the QEA, which represents 168 teachers work-ing in Quincy, expired on Aug. 31. The teachers are working

under the terms of the old contract until a new agreement can be reached.

The contract negotiations have bogged down over a number of issues.

The QEA is asking for a number of modifications to the former contract, including additional compensation to teachers to prepare for substi-tutes, increasing funding to help

Quincy resident Ron Moen has been named the Columbia Basin Dispute Resolution Cen-ter’s volunteer of the year.

Moen, a member of the center’s board of directors, has been instrumental in the establishment of the nonprofit organization.

Jennifer Thomas, the center’s co-executive director stated that Moen has taken every opportunity to reach out to the residents of Grant County to explain the benefits of using the conflict resolution services provided by the center.

“In large part, it is thanks to the efforts of Ron Moen that the CBDRC is here to provide such a vital role in the communities of this region,” she stated.

The center was founded two years ago. It offers basic me-

diation training, active listen-ing workshops and internship opportunities for mediators-in-training, which are open to Grant County residents.

The center provides an op-tion for people to resolve their disputes without litigation. Mediators at the center help parties having a dispute to develop a solution that works for both parties.

The center can be reached at 888-880-0957.


When asked why he came to Quincy, Shaun McNay, the new pastor of the Quincy Free Methodist Church, turned to a biblical story.

There was a time in Abra-ham’s life when God told the patriarch that he was to leave his homeland and go to the land that God was going to show him.

McNay said he saw similari-ties between Abraham’s experi-ence and how he and his family came to Quincy.

“Our sense was that God was preparing us to go to the land he would show us,” McNay said.

Without the divine interven-tion, it’s unlikely that McNay would have ended up in Quincy, considering how different this land is to his former home of Newberg, Ore.

McNay met his wife, Diane, in Newberg when they were students at George Fox College. They raised their three children, Zachary, now a senior at Seattle Pacific University, Lacey, 18, a freshman at George Fox (which has now achieved university status), and Libby, 15. in the verdant community southwest of Portland.

McNay, who grew up in Mis-soula, Mont., came to Newberg in 1979 to attend George Fox. He played baseball for four years as an undergraduate student. He enjoyed the col-

lege so much, he stayed on in several capacities as a student and employee until he worked his way up to become the Dean of Students.

McNay eventually left the university to become the pastor for the Newberg Free Method-ist Church, which he had been attending since he first arrived in the community.

“We loved life there,” McNay said. “But we felt like we were starting to get unsettled and we felt like God was trying to get our attention.”

So they decided to see where inspiration would take them.

McNay was friends with Ed

Burns, a former pastor of the Quincy Free Methodist Church. He and his family came to Quincy to visit Burns once, so he knew of the church. But he didn’t think he would end up here.

“Quincy was not on my ra-dar,” McNay said. “But it was on God’s radar.”

He learned of the pastor open-ing and his family came to visit the church earlier this year.

“The very first thought I had when I walked in is that there is life in this church,” he said. “These people want to be here.”

Soon they felt this was the

place they should be. The McNays moved to Quincy this summer. The church gave him a three-month sabbatical to get moved in and settled, which McNay called a gener-ous blessing. He will assume full-time duties at the end of this month.

McNay said he is looking forward to serving here.

“We had prayed that we could be sent to a place where we can love the place and the people,” McNay said. “We want to be a part of Quincy. We want to learn the culture of the community. The Lord is knitting our hearts to this place and the people.”

Gang-related shootingTwo Quincy youths were hospitalized with nonlife-

threatening gunshot wounds after a gang-related shooting in southwest Quincy on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 21, according to Quincy Police chief Richard Ackerman.

The incident happened on 2nd Avenue Southeast between C and D streets, he said.

No further details were available at press time.

Library foundation uncovers donor recognition program

When it comes to recogniz-ing donors to the new Quincy Library, the Quincy Valley Library Foundation came up with a novel approach.

The names of donors who give at least $250 will be remembered at the library in a special bookcase with the names of the donors on the spines of the books, along with the donation level and year they made the dona-tion.

“So many other projects have little plaques on the wall,” foundation member Corallee Morgan said. “It didn’t appeal to us. We thought there has to be a way to appeal to donors of the library and then we thought, ‘What better way than to do it with books?’”

The books will go in a spe-

cial bookcase in the grown-up reading section of the new library, where they will stay as a tribute to the donors. Morgan said there will be other donor recognition pro-grams for all donors, no matter what they give, including an ad in the Post-Register and a donor book listing the names of everyone who gave to the project. For information, call 787-2359.

The community can also support the Quincy Valley Library Foundation by attend-ing its annual Beer, Brauts, Bonfire & Band event at Parties on the Green, Satur-day, Oct. 2 from 2 to 8 p.m. Admission to the event is $10 per person. Children 10 and under are free. Tickets can by purchased at the Quincy Library, 108 B St. SW.

Looking Back into Quincy's Past10 years ago

September 21, 2000Maxine Tjoelker of Quincy

got a new heart in Seattle in 1993. With her energy revived, she began sewing quilts for patients who face a similar ordeal- children from all over the Northwest who come to Children's Hospital for treatment.

The Lady Jacks picked up their first win of the season Tuesday with a 5-3 victory over league opponent Royal. The win bumps Quincy to 1-2 against Central Washington Athletic Conference teams.

20 years agoSeptember 27, 1990

Dana Dal Porto of Quincy and Jeanne Gimlin of Eph-rata took top honors in the Adams East Museum and

Art Centerʼs first juried art show. Cynthia Krieble, professor of art at Central Washington University, jur-ied the exhibit.


Quincy firemen were called out Tuesday afternoon to a fire on a bridge at the Winchester Waterway and Road 9 which was started accidentally by a construction crew working on the bridge.


The Reverend Glen Nor-man was one of 300 ministers selected to go to Vietnam and see first-hand what is happen-ing there.


A new bus route has

been added to the Quincy School District transporta-tion system. There are now 13 routes in operation. The new route is from four miles south of George into town. It was necessary to put on this additional route to relieve the overloaded conditions in the three buses at the south end of the school district, school officials explained.


The mighty Columbia, servant of man, and giver of power, showed its less benev-olent mood a few days ago by taking the life of one man and coming within a hairsbreadth of taking two more.

Mary Ellen DellingerMary Ellen (Alvord) Dellinger, 77, of Othello,

was received into the hands of her Lord Jesus on Sept. 18, 2010 after a short battle with cancer.

Mary Ellen, the oldest of eight children, was born Aug. 13, 1933 to William and Florence (Otis) Alvord in LaConner.

She attended schools in LaConner, gradu-ating in 1951. Mary Ellen attended Western Washington College, studying nursing until she met Walter Dellinger. They were married on Oct. 17, 1953, in Allen. Together, they raised four children.

In 1972, the family moved from Skagit Valley to Othello, where they resided until 1987, when they moved to Quincy. Mary Ellenʼs husband, Walter, died in 2004. She continued to reside in Quincy until poor health required her to move back to Othello to be closer to her daughters.

Mary Ellen was a member of the Quincy Southern Baptist Church. Family was very important to her. She looked forward to hear-ing about the antics of her great-grandchildren and was especially excited about the addition of three new little ones this year, Noelle, Julian and Rose, expected December, 2010.

She is survived by her children, Sharon (Don)

Mobley of Othello, Coralie (Mike) Cummins of Kennewick, Allen (Kate) Dellinger of Yuba City, Calif. and Rosemary Dellinger of Zillah; six grandchildren, Howard (Dao) Vandermark of Thailand, Kati Vandermark of Pullman, Joseph Vandermark of Pullman, Brian (Nikki) Cummins of American Falls, Idaho, Michelle (Jeremy) Virden of Kirkland, and Aaron Dellinger of Yuba City, Calif.; also eight great-grandchil-dren, Brennan, Novelyn, Bailee, Noah, Brady and Noelle Cummins, Julian Virden and Rose Vandermark. She is also survived by her sisters, Shirley Helsel of LaConner and Carol (Bud) Eisen of Bremerton; brothers, David (Joan) Al-vord of LaConner and Dick (Trudy) Alvord of Mt. Vernon, as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family members. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and brothers, Allen, Billy and Larry.

Memorial services will be held Friday, Sept. 24, 2010 at 2 p.m. at Quincy Baptist Church. Private burial will be in the Quincy Valley Cemetery.

Arrangements are by Scharbach's Columbia Funeral Chapel in Quincy. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Quincy Baptist Church Building Fund.

DEATH NOTICES

Service: 10:30 a.m.

Every business and organization that provides a

service to the public should on occasion take a hard look at itself and see if changes are in order.

The Post-Register is no exception. As the publisher of the Post-Register, I’ve taken some time to consider how we present the news and items of interest to our readers.

While I’m mostly happy with the job we have done, I do think we have room to improve.

Something I want to see more in our paper is covering the “little” things that happen in our com-munity.

When I say that, I don’t mean to

disparage those things. As we know, the little things are often what lead to bigger and bet-ter things.

While we will con-tinue to cover the big topics and the contro-versies that crop up, I would like to see our paper devote more time to the good things that are happening in our

community.For example, this week, on our

front page we have a story about a young man who gave $20 to help fund the new Quincy Library project. While that might not seem like a big deal, I think it is a great story because it will likely inspire more people to give money for our library. (What if all 11,000 people

in the Quincy Valley gave $20 to help the library? Wouldn’t that be amazing?)

Those are the kinds of stories I want to see more often in our paper.

So if you have an idea for a story or photo in the paper, please call us at 787-4511.

We might not always be able to send a reporter to write about or photograph your idea, but if you can take the time to send us an e-mail about the subject or a photo you took of it, chances are pretty good it will end up in the paper.

I hope as the weeks unfold you will be pleased with the direction we’re taking the paper.

As always, we love receiving feedback. Please call us or e-mail [email protected] with your thoughts.

Ramble on

Thanks to firefightersThe Schorzman Family would like to

join the Schulz Family in thanking the many firefighters who worked so hard on the Baird Springs Fire.

While we lost all our ground cover, we are most thankful that no structures were lost and that there were no serious injuries. We would, at this time, ask that everyone please respect the NO HUNT-ING/NO TRESPASSING signed posted along our property so the vegetation has a chance to re-establish itself and that four-wheelers and snowmobiles not cause more than the natural erosion by staying off the property. Thank you again to all who worked so hard.

— Mary Gilman, on behalf of the Schorzman Family

For BerndI would like to personally endorse Bob

Bernd for Grant County PUD Commis-sioner. I have known Bob for four years, serving with him at the Washington State PUD Association in Olympia, and in my capacity as a Douglas County PUD Commissioner. Through these and other venues, I have observed Bob to deal with diverse opinions with a respectful ear and open mind. Bob demonstrates a “common sense” approach to issues and relation-ships, skills likely honed by his many years as a small business owner.

Bob has many characteristics I admire. He is honest, transparent, consistent, accessible, and open-minded. Further-more, when Bob was chairman of the Washington PUD Association’s Legisla-tive Committee, he demonstrated strong organization skills and an easy-going personality that made potentially conten-tious issues easy to discuss and debate. I believe these skills and personality traits have and will benefit Grant County, and our entire region.

Bob Bernd has done a good job for Grant County PUD, and deserves a second term as PUD Commissioner. Without hesitation, I endorse Bob Bernd for Grant County PUD Commissioner.

— Ron Skagen, East Wenatchee

No on I-110 and 1105I would like to point out some addi-

tional reasons why voters should oppose Initiatives 1100 and 1105 that promote li-quor privatization. In addition to harming much of the 4 billion dollar Washington

wine industry, the Washington State craft brewers also know the consequences of these Initiatives and have joined the opposition.

There are significant social conse-quences if 1100 and 1105 pass. The num-ber of hard liquor outlets will go from 315 to as many as 5000. Because corporations that sell liquor wrote the Initiatives, Wash-ington would become the least regulated state in the nation for hard liquor sales. The odds of a minor making an illegal purchase will go from 1 in 20 to 1 in 4. Alcohol-related traffic problems such as drunk driving will increase significantly. Incidences of domestic violence will go up as alcohol is often to blame.

Current revenue now paid to cities and counties will flow into the pockets of big box stores and out-of-state distill-ers, with new taxes as the only option to protect essential services. Washington State liquor prices are high due to State and Federal taxes.

These will not change under the pro-posed Initiatives. With rare exceptions, prices will likely be higher due to distri-bution costs and possible tax increases to offset revenue loss. After more than 75 years in business, the Washington State Liquor Control Board has developed a remarkably efficient liquor distribution system. They are able to service the entire state from one warehouse that is highly automated. Can it be improved? Of course, and ongoing efforts to do so are happening on a daily basis.

There are far too many reasons to reject 1100 and 1105 so I urge you to vote no.

— Kevin Danby, Ephrata

District No. 5 that applied for a job was employed by AMR.

He added that AMR does not want to change the service level provided in Quincy.

“The only thing different you’ll see is an AMR logo on the side of the ambulance,” Roncarati said.

A number of Quincy Val-ley Ambulance Service em-ployees came to the meeting. Some spoke out against the proposal.

Adam Longoria, a Quincy Valley EMT, said he worked with AMR in Seattle and saw

things that concerned him.“They are money-driven,”

Longoria said. “If they want to get patients off the gurney quicker to make more calls, they’ll get them off quicker.”

Corey Linscott, an EMT who also worked for AMR, said there are differences between how it operates and how the Quincy service works.

“With them it’s a business thing, with us it’s about serving the community,” he said.

He added that the hospital could do more things to help cut ambulance costs to keep the service public.

EMT Mark Croft said he didn’t understand why the city would give money to a private

company to stay in town.“You wouldn’t give money

to a plumbing company to stay in town,” Croft said.

Randy Zolman, a hospital board member, said the hospi-tal had looked at dropping the ambulance service in 2006 and probably couldn’t have kept it going without the subsidies from the city and fire district. He added that there isn’t the volume to keep an ambulance service viable without the subsidies.

Mayor Jim Hemberry said the city is concerned that there is an ambulance service avail-able for the city’s residents. The council took no action on the matter.

teachers become nationally certified and receive more training, providing salary for two additional record-keeping days, and compensating teachers who take on leadership roles.

The teachers’ union is also asking to reduce the time that teachers have to stay after school from 60 minutes to 45 minutes, require teach-ers to only post grades at the end of the quarter and limiting the hours teachers have to spend in meetings. The teachers are also asking for a one-year contract.

Some of the bargaining items proposed by the school district include changing the language in the contract for class sizes, changes to the griev-ance procedure and a three-year contract.

School district superintendent Burton Dicker-son said this is the first time he has had contract negotiations go to mediation.

He explained that the Public Employment Relations Commission will conduct the media-tion sessions, which will help both parties try to

come to an agreement. The dates for resumed talks have not been set.

He said it is important that the district agrees to a contract that protects its financial future.

The district faces a $100,000 reduction in state funding for this year, Dickerson said. Last year, state funding was cut by $300,000. The district is also expecting to pay more for its employee benefits packages.

Susan Yaw, head of the QEA, said the financial outlook is not as bleak as the district is claiming, considering that it has a budget reserve.

“They have a healthy reserve and they still would be able to have one under our propos-als,” Yaw said.

While both parties are currently at odds over the contract, both Dickerson and Yaw stated the district and teachers are maintaining a positive relationship.

“We have a great working relationship with the administration,” Yaw said.

Dickerson added, “We highly appreciate and value the work of the teachers. We want to work together to achieve a fair and equitable agreement in this process.”

who invented the instrument. “The “bro” part comes from brothers, as it was invented by the Dopier Brothers,” he added. Starr impressed everyone with his playing of Bob Will’s “Milk Cow Blues.” The setting was nothing formal the first night. Present were just a few fans and musicians sharing their love of bluegrass music. Several groups from all over came to play, and this year saw the most attendees ever in the whole history of the festival. The four-day event boasted some 50-plus campers and over

120 people who came from all over to listen to the sweet sounds of bluegrass.”

We are very happy with the turnout,” said Kooy. Popular local bands, such as Mission Mountain Trio, Prairie Flyer, Down the Road, and Snipes band graced this year’s playbill.

“It is a great atmosphere here in George. What we appreciate most is people’s adula-tion. Even though some have heard us play the same songs over and over, they still come,” said guitarist Steve Blanchard of Prairie Flyer. “We are fortunate to be in the top five bluegrass bands here in the Northwest, and the turnout here in George is just a glimpse of the support we have here,” he added.

I gave him some information. The next day, he came in and donated $20 for the project. I thought it was great that he wanted to make that kind of donation.”

Francisco, the son of Fran-cisco Sr. and Griselda Ramirez, said he is excited about the new library and wanted to support it because he knows he’ll be spending a lot of time there once it is built next year.

Quincy city administrator Tim Snead said the library proj-ect is on track for construction in early 2011.

The new library project, which will be built on the 200 block of S. Central Avenue, is in the environmental review phase and should be out to

bid in December or January, he said.

“Everything is moving for-ward,” Snead said.

If all goes according to plan, the community could be using its new library by next summer. Then the city would move forward with its plan of turning the old library into a city administration building. The police department would take over the city administra-tion offices in the City Hall building.

Having a new library would certainly be a good thing, Ybarra said, because the current library is heavily used.

“Our circulation was up 68 percent last month compared to August 2009,” Ybarra said. “It has been insanely busy at the library the past few months.”

The estimated $2.2 million cost of the library construction

will be paid with city funds and a $900,000 Community Development Block Grant. The Quincy Library Founda-tion is hoping to raise at least another $100,000 to outfit the library. The donations will go toward paying for shelving, landscaping, furniture, art and audio-visual equipment.

A number of groups have pledged money or donated funds for the library project including the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and both Lions clubs. Ybarra said there have been a number of donations already made, but the founda-tion is still a long way from achieving its goal.

Which makes donations like the one Ramirez gave to the library encouraging and exciting.

“We’re happy to receive any donations,” Ybarra said.

While Tuesday night was not a win for the Lady Jacks volleyball team, they did show they will not back down from a fight - even if that fight was com-ing from a bulldog.

Ellensburg came to town with 6-foot, 1-inch middle blocker Kaitlin Quirk as their primary weapon and she did not disappoint, collecting 15 kills and three blocks. Quincy countered with a handful of players - namely Sara Horning (three kills), Madison Petersen (10 digs) and Janna Hodges (10 assists).

In the end, Ellensburg won 25-20, 25-23, 25-14.“It was some fun volleyball,” second-year coach

Pam Young said. “I thought we played pretty well. Our goal is to get better every match and we did.”

The Lady Jacks knocked down just 11 kills on the night, but fought to stay with Ellensburg (4-0) in the first two games.

“You serve tough, you scrap and you play smart,” Young said. “They all did a little of something. That’s what you have to do when you don’t have someone,” Young said, referring to Quirk.

In the first game, Sierra Hyer hit a cross-court shot to stop a Lady Bulldog 7-0 run and later in the game Hodges served up three points to pull Quincy within 23-19, but a couple of mistakes pushed the score to 25-20. Quincy had 25 service and hitting errors in the three games, but it is all part of Young’s plan to improve her team each outing.

“I want them to serve tougher,” Young said. “It’s about confidence and being able to compete.”

In the second game, an ace off a jump serve by middle hitter Devyn Hinkins gave Quincy a 9-5 lead and forced an Ellensburg timeout. The visitors ral-lied back to knot the game at 15-all and eventually take a 22-19 lead.

Petersen used a well-placed dump, followed by an Ellensburg miscue and then added an ace to knot the game at 22-22. The game was tied at 23-23 after a Cassiddee Davis hit, but the Lady Bulldogs used a kill by Quirk and a Quincy miscue to win 25-23.

In the final game, Hanah Allen came off the bench for a pair of kills, but Ellensburg took an early lead and wound up with a 25-14 win.

The Lady Jacks still haven’t figured out how to compete against the Lady Vikings, as was evident last Thursday. Selah won easily, allowing just 24 points in three games. The Lady Vikings were led by Natalie Fickes (10 assists), Kayla Dexter (eight kills, five blocks) and Kera Dexter (six aces).

“Selah is an all-around good team,” Young said. “They run a fast offense with threats at each position. In game two our girls served more aggressively and stayed with them for awhile, but then struggled with our serve/receive.”

The Lady Jacks were led by Hinkins (four kills, three aces, two blocks), Hodges (seven assists) and Hanah Allen (three blocks).

More chances lead to strong performance

against Lady Bulldogs

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Kevin Rincon had a career game against East Valley last Friday night, but unfortunately for the Jacks, there was more than one big-time player in the CWAC matchup.

Rincon rushed for 141 yards on just seven carries and he scored the game's first touchdown. The Red Devils countered with senior transfer Cody Nickoloff, who rushed for 284 yards on 20 carries.

In the end, East Valley defended their home turf with a 40-30 win.

The Jacks put up 365 yards of total offense to East Valley’s 352, but were unable to convert on their five two-point tries, losing by 10 points.

For Quincy, this was the first time this season they were effective in both facets of the offense. They had 36 rush-ing attempts for 260 yards and threw for 105 yards on just five receptions.

Jackson Hodges (5-7-0-105, 2 TD) rushed for 69 yards and two touch-downs, Manny Ybarra rushed for 32 yards and Cai Yamamoto ran for 20 yards. Cody Beaumont caught two passes for 44 yards and Kody Berens had one catch for 40 yards - each had a touchdown.

Quincy will host winless Wapato on Friday. The Wolves run the same offense as the Jacks, but are in their first year under their new scheme.

QHS will look to continue their rushing success from last week, but Kevin Rincon rushed for 141 yards against East Valley last Friday.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Quincy took their first ever lead on Ephrata over the week-end and held a 1-0 advantage for more than 20 minutes of their non-league soccer match.

The Lady Tigers eventu-ally raced past Quincy with five second-half goals in a 6-1 win, while last Thursday a trip to Leavenworth resulted in a 9-1 loss.

Ephrata 6, Quincy 1

The game’s first goal came off the foot of Quincy’s Kylie Williamson in the 13th minute and the lead remained until Ephrata’s Kari Inch converted a penalty kick in the 36th min-ute to enter the half knotted at 1-all.

The second half belonged to the Lady Tigers, as they took advantage of Quincy’s non-ex-istent bench. They took the lead three minutes into the second half off a 20-yard boot and added goals in the 50th, 54th, 62nd and

79th minutes.“I have nine healthy girls,”

coach Matthew Kimmel said. “At full strength can we keep up with them for a whole game? Yes.”

Cascade 9, Quincy 1Marbely Sanchez scored in

the 78th minute for the Jacks. It was her first goal of her varsity career.

Adrian Diaz led the QHS boys cross-country team to a third-place finish at the Moses Lake Cross Country Invitational last Saturday, while the girls placed sixth.

Freshman Salvador Lopez (19th, 18:39) and junior Manny Lopez (21st, 18:42) were the next two Quincy runners to finish. The final two scorers for Quincy were Gabriel Lopez (36th, 19:18) and Gerardo Guzman (57th, 20:00). Others: Christian Perez (59, 20:08) and Saul Iniguez (66, 20:31).

“We beat some good teams,” coach John Heikkila said. “It makes me pretty happy.”

For the girls, Anne Francis (22:15) was 15th among 72 runners. Her fellow scorers were Jazmine Perez (26, 23:17), Alejandra Diaz (29, 23:19), Marinda Talley (34, 23:42) and Jessica Esparza (36, 23:58). Others: Sarah Martinez (51st, 25:16) and Katia Perez (59, 26:59).

“Every kid gave maximum effort,” Heikkila said. “That’s the number one thing.”

STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR AIR QUALITY APPROVAL OF THE CONVERSION OF A LAGOON TO AN ANAEROBIC

A legal descrip-tion of the location is the N 1/2 of Section 24, Township 20 North, Range 23 East, Willamette Meridian. After review of the completed Notice of Construction applications and other information on fi le with the agency, Ecology has made a preliminary determination that this proposal will conform to all requirements as specifi ed in Chapter 173-400 WAC and Chapter 173-460 WAC.

Valley SchoolsB6September 23, 2010

Editor’s Note — A group of students at Monument Elementary School were selected for a leadership-training camp in August before the start of the school year. The camp, held on Lake Roosevelt from Aug. 18 to 21. According to principal Don Francis, the camp was designed to emphasize respect, kindness and lead-ership. The camp was made up of ASB officers and students selected as potential leaders who may never have the opportunity to attend such a camp.

Donations from the community helped to make the camp possible, as well as school staff who volunteered their own time.

Francis said the school climate has been greatly helped because of the camp.

“Our student leaders have changed the school al-ready,” Francis said. “We have only had three office referrals for student behavior in three weeks. For over 600 students, this is phenomenal.”

The school is planning four more leadership camps this school year, Francis said.

“We welcome and thank any support given by the community to help this program,” he added.

Below is an article written by a camp attendee.

Learning and having fun at leadership camp

By Jennifer Sandoval Sixth-grade, ASB President

Hello, my name is Jennifer Sandoval and I went to a leadership camp on August 18 to August 21. When we got there what we did was build our tents. We brought down our bags (with our clothes and more). Then we were so anxious to get in the water so we decided that we wanted to swim. Before we started swimming, we went over the safety rules and our buddy system. The buddy system is when you have either one or two buddies that go with you everywhere. So when we went swimming our life guards would call out “buddy check” and we would get with our buddies. If we couldn’t find our buddy in less than 30 seconds we would get out of the water and take a break. But luckily for me my partners Paulina and Estella were always with me. That night an Indian story teller came and told us some amazing stories about his childhood and some stories about the legendary eagles and coyotes. Oh,

and one about a turtle and a coyote. When he left we went off to our tents and slept!

Second DayWe woke up sleepy but excited for a new fun day.

They had something challenging for us. We had to cook our own breakfast! With my troop leader (Mr. Purcell) we had to cook eggs and bacon. We then had canoeing classes. So after they talked about the rules and safety tips we went to our canoes. My partner was Keisha, and we had a blast. When we finished we went to a waterfall! The water was FREEZING! But we got used to it so it’s all good! Before we got in we went to the waterfall to get wet and take a shower. After this we went back and ate dinner. That night we ate smores and played games like ghost in the graveyard and we also played werewolf. Sooner or later we got pretty tired. Some of us were scared, as we heard from the Indians that there were such things as “water babies.” They make bubbles. If you go swimming at night they grab your feet and drown you. So we were scared all night but we fell asleep really fast.

Third DayWhen we woke up we got ready for breakfast.

Once we saw the bacon and the sausage we knew it was pancakes. Mhhhmmm! When Mr. Purcell helped us a bit we got the hang of it. So when we finished eating we were off to canoeing again. But this time we had a hard job to do! We had to canoe all the way to the other side of the river. We took about 30 minutes to get there and it took us like 45 minutes to get back because the waves were huge. When we got back we were swimming a bit. When we got out it was writing time. We had to be 50 feet away from anyone. We had to write about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I wrote that I wanted to be in the ARMY! When we went back to camp we had Indians come and play songs for us, and we got to drum too. It was an honor to play. When they were done WE GOT SMORES! For en-tertainment Mr. Vue was teaching me how to moon walk. But then we were off to bed!

In the morningWe were packing up. Once we were done we got

to do this game called “Talking Stick” we had to say what was on our mind. Once that was done we were on our way back! Well that’s it. Thank you for reading!!

Summer leadership camp paying off for MonumentBy MarcuS lopezSixth-grade student

I went to a camp called the Monu-ment Leadership Camp. It is a camp where they want you to be a great leader. On the first day we got to swim in Lake Roosevelt, there was a diving board made out of wood and it wasn’t carved good. Then at night we played a game called snipe hunt, it’s an animal that you catch to win.

By JoSe daniel yBarraSixth-grade student

The best thing I did in summer was go to a leadership camp with some of the school. Some of the things we did there was canoeing, swimming at the falls and at our camp ground and there was a cool diving board. Then some Indian people came. They had stories and drummed on their drum. It was so cool. The goal I set was to come to school and try not to get into trouble. So then I can go to another leadership camp again.

By eStella adaMe and paulina zepedaSixth-grade students

At camp we learned to be respect-ful to one another and to be kind. We got to know more people. We swam and canoed to the other side of the lake. We made our own food and got to be more responsible. We made more friends, getting to know people that were shy or lonely. We got them to be with us to have fun as we were trying not to leave anyone out. This camp really helped us a lot to be kind. This was a really fun experience that we are thankful for, especially now that we are sixth-graders.
